Abstract
In order to provide an area-monitoring passive radon detector that isresistant to very high humidities, passive detectors have been heat-sealed in200 µm thick polyethylene. The sensitivity of the detectors in the bags to radon was found to be83 ± 2% of the sensitivity of detectors not encapsulated. These detectors have been shown to beresistant to the entry of water vapour for at least one month. The detectors have been usedin practice for five years, and have proved to provide a robust method of measuring radonconcentrations in areas with very high humidity.
